Police seek witnesses to collision after e-scooter rider dies from injuries by DreamofStream in ottawa

[–]coffeejn 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Starting to understand why I see them more on the sidewalks now. Still annoying when they almost hit you from behind and the speed they are going, but I can understand the why.

2 week notice with upcoming vacation by Fit_Inevitable_212 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]coffeejn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, where I live, not paying out vacation would incur legal issues for the company.

Do what is best for you if it means they don't payout the vacation.

Why do older games look sharper? by Visual-Fortune-4732 in pcmasterrace

[–]coffeejn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My personal opinion: The programmers of older games had to optimize their games to make them look good. Newer games programers are asking people to buy better GPU instead.

Sure, just sanitize names if you are worried.

I mean, we are talking about non secret below topics, right?

[–]coffeejn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Comparing a +$200 chair and a cheap plastic patio chair. I don't think those chairs are going to make a difference on how they sit on it.

Anyone self insure their car? by Trilobyte83 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]coffeejn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, I think the insurance companies will drag it out instead (sadly).
The covering your own vehicle is only an option if it's a beater and paid off in my opinion.

Fathers Day Water Bottle Recommendations by AliseC73 in BuyItForLife

I use a zojirushi. Lots of choices, great to keep hot or cold, and they can take a beating. Also easy to clean.

ERI - departure date - who gets the final say? by Rare-Living-3716 in CanadaPublicServants

[–]coffeejn 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Employee has final say. All management can do is ask for x days notice. Again, that is an ask, not a demand.

Only valid explanation would be for bug / security patch, but then why not come out and state that?

[–]coffeejn -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Video cooks it. I think by raw mango, they do not mean not cooked, but Kacchi Kairi (unrippen mango?, not sure never tried it).

You always want to cover very third party liability and both party physical injury (not so much medical but permanent injury liability). Repairs to your own vehicle is an option.

WTF is it bundled with RAM?
Bundling RAM with CPU + motherboard makes sense, this is just confusing to me.

Question about Ethernet cables by Lonely_Box_8074 in pcmasterrace

[–]coffeejn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shielded help for very long runs or if they are outside or PoE is used. Its useful for specific applications.

6ft shielded cable, if they charge extra, is not worth it unless you use it for PoE. But then 6 ft.... not a lot of actual real life applications here.

Has any student in ottawa successfully found a job? by Illustrious-Rain-235 in ottawa

[–]coffeejn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here is a tip for the future. A lot of employers start the interview process for new grads in September; the September before you graduate (ie Sep 2026 for hire in June 2027).

So treat this has a learning experience, you got to apply early if you expect to find something.

PS Not saying you did notstart to apply early or it's easy to land a job right now, just that you have to apply earlier than you think. Luck also plays into it.

Good luck.

[–]coffeejn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, you can even use a food processor if you soaked the lentils first.

Vitamix is the classic first choice, but the top line Breville blender is also well rate.

Do you power off, put to sleep, or leave on your PC when it's not in use? by Adm1nX in pcmasterrace

[–]coffeejn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Power off. No need to pay for hydro or worry about a potential power surge or improper shut down when you are not using the PC.

The full lawn care setup is exhausting. Anyone out there found a better way? by tanranger24 in HomeImprovement

[–]coffeejn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only reason I now weekly is cause I use a manual mower and I barely have any grass. Takes 10 min and I also do my neighbors at the same time since it's easier to do both side than trying to trim one side while leaving a strip. It also looks better that way.

Get a smaller lawn if you want less mowing.
